Sacramento Family History Center

Following is a list of SOME of the major holdings in the Sacramento Family History Center. The books are arranged 'in order' by Aisle, 'Aisle One' being the first aisle of books on the left as you enter the center (Note: the books are constantly being moved and shuffled).

This listing is provided to give you the reader a better concept of the incredible collection of books--some with many volumes--on our shelves containing names, dates and places. In no way is it intended to represent our entire collection. Not listed are MANY County Histories, Township Centennial Publications, and Bound Periodicals (Magazines) which are also an incredible source for documented references to original records.

Call numbers are not included but can easily be found by using our automated card catalog which is accessible through any computer in the center. To locate a book by state use your browser's 'find' tool (Edit, Find on this page).
